The English architect John Pawson once said in an interview: “On the one hand, it has a near naked simplicity. On the other, it is soft, almost poetic.“ We have now crafted this archetypal door fitting (based an Hans Poelzig’s concept from 1930) from the most honest of all metals: cast iron. This special task is undertaken by a small company in rural Germany that has been specialising in cast iron fittings for a century now.

Belfort
The two apartments are located in the French city of Belfort. They are two projects by Arbr architects. The first object is an apartment located in a house from 1900, which was thoroughly renovated.
Before the reconstruction, the loft-like building was the ruin of a locksmith’s shop from 1904 in Stuttgart’s Lehenviertel district. As the workshop building was in a very poor condition at the beginning, the conversion of the old locksmith’s shop was very risky and there was no guarantee that the project would succeed.
Apartment S is located in an Art Deco villa, which was built in 1931 in Vienna. Since 2013, the mezzanine floor is owned by the owners. During the reconstruction it was important to use as many components and built-in furniture as possible to preserve the original character of the apartment, but also for reasons of sustainability.
